We know this but what made this person use the term "****" when he referred to a certain group of people? Do you think it was the language they were speaking or their physical charcteristics? Would you prefer that we use the term biggot instead? He's still a jerk.

I don't recall any elected official on either side using a racial slur during the last election. When did this occur? Did an elected democrat or republican use the N word or call someone a ****? Sorry I didn't get that memo. If they did, I would have denounced it no matter where it came from. I wouldn't have been on this forum defending them.

Hmmm... not that I agree with the Tea Parties or Tea Baggers, but is it the slur or the observation about race that is the problem?

Food for thought:

Plenty of white people lament events, areas, schools, etc. that are "too white" or too full of honkeys, crackers, etc..... are they being racist or hating themselves or their children?

Get real and read the real racist comments from those like THE RACE aka LaRaza and Mencha and many other latino groups who call whites, crackers, whitey and brag about all the kids they are having [ who are mostly on welfare of course ] !

Perhaps you could point me to the headquarters of this "organization." Maybe break down the hierarchy of the "organization," starting with it's highest position.

I read your rants against the Tea Party movement almost daily in this forum, and it's very obvious that you don't even understand what you're ranting about.

Gotta love free entertainment.

I am guessing you don't know what gringo means. I guarantee it is not on the same level as Sp*c.

I believe it was the term "Sp*c" along with "Where's my gun" that did it.

Do you think it is on par with Sp*c? which is defined as an ethnic slur?

Here is what someone from Mexico would say: "You call us Mexicans we call you Gringos". Is that offensive?
